Fished Jean last night from around 10 PM 'till 3 AM. Had a bunch of pinhead minnies & were lookin to get some crappie. But....All we were catchin were gills! Got a few crappie but they were on the small side & went back in. The gills were gobbling the minnies & we ran out of them & quit. We ended up keeping 74 gills & 3 Perch. The gills hit better at night on that lake & I guess it's because the water is so clear & they don't feed much in the daylight. All gills were high quality & up to 10 inches! Some pics of the catch.

My Buddy and I fished Jean a week ago. Caught a pickerel. Noticed that the water was murky, what causes that?

Im going to call my buddy and see if he made it home alright he was fishing newyears day up there with his family..... did not hear from him since newyears eve....  thats not unusuall to not hear from him for a few days though.  not really to worried just a check up. 

heading up sunday to keep all daves perch lol

am i the dave you are refering to.......  just wondering cause i am one of the ones that things the fishing pressure on them and the keeping of so many of the big girls has a direct effect on the quality of fishing on this lake.

I hope it is/was just water on the ice. I didn't hear anything of anyone going in. Jigger did you ever call your buddy?
